We read your photo as:

A is a solution of dibasic acid H2X. B is a solution of 1.00 g sodium hydroxide in 250 cm³ of solution. Put A into the burette and titrate against 20.00 cm³ or 25.00 cm³ portion of B using methyl orange as an indicator. Repeat the titration three more times and record your results in Table 1.1

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Determine the volume of the pipette used.

    The instructions state that a "20.00 cm3^3 or 25.00 cm3^3 portion of B" should be used. You must choose one of these standard pipette volumes for your experiment and record it. For example, if you choose a 25.00 cm3^3 pipette, you would write:
    Volume of pipette used: 25.00 cm3\boxed{\text{25.00 cm}^3} (or 20.00 cm3^3 if that was chosen)

  2. Calculate the concentration of solution B (sodium hydroxide, NaOH).

    Given:
    Mass of NaOH = 1.00 g1.00 \text{ g}
    Volume of solution = 250 cm3250 \text{ cm}^3

    First, calculate the molar mass of NaOH:
    Molar mass of NaOH =(22.99 g/mol for Na)+(16.00 g/mol for O)+(1.01 g/mol for H)= (22.99 \text{ g/mol for Na}) + (16.00 \text{ g/mol for O}) + (1.01 \text{ g/mol for H})
    Molar mass of NaOH =40.00 g/mol= 40.00 \text{ g/mol}

    Next, calculate the number of moles of NaOH:
    Moles of NaOH =MassMolar mass= \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}
    Moles of NaOH =1.00 g40.00 g/mol= \frac{1.00 \text{ g}}{40.00 \text{ g/mol}}
    Moles of NaOH =0.0250 mol= 0.0250 \text{ mol}

    Convert the volume of solution to dm3^3:
    Volume =250 cm3×1 dm31000 cm3= 250 \text{ cm}^3 \times \frac{1 \text{ dm}^3}{1000 \text{ cm}^3}
    Volume =0.250 dm3= 0.250 \text{ dm}^3

    Finally, calculate the concentration of NaOH:
    Concentration of NaOH =MolesVolume= \frac{\text{Moles}}{\text{Volume}}
    Concentration of NaOH =0.0250 mol0.250 dm3= \frac{0.0250 \text{ mol}}{0.250 \text{ dm}^3}
    Concentration of NaOH =0.100 mol/dm3= \boxed{0.100 \text{ mol/dm}^3}

  3. Explain how to complete Table 1.1.

    For each titration (Rough, 1, 2, 3), you will record the initial and final burette readings. The "Volume of A used" is then calculated for each titration using the formula:

    Volume of A used (cm3)=Final burette reading (cm3)−Initial burette reading (cm3)\text{Volume of A used (cm}^3) = \text{Final burette reading (cm}^3) - \text{Initial burette reading (cm}^3)

    The rough titration is an estimate, while titrations 1, 2, and 3 are precise measurements. You would typically use the concordant (closest) values from titrations 1, 2, and 3 to calculate an average volume of A used for subsequent calculations.
